Now let me share what I have created for today's blog hop. For my first card I used the beautiful Doodled Lace Cover Die. I’m in love with this die, it has a perfectly delicate and feminine look.

I cut the lace out of white cardstock and lightly brushed over it with a sponge dauber using Sand Dunes ink. Then I used Altenew pink marker to add a little bit more colour and adhered to kraft cardstock base. My XO sentiment was cut out of glitter gold cardstock with Bold Alphabet die set.

Then I stamped in black and fussy cut the frame. The “thank you” sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set.

For my last project I used the Envelope Liner Die Set and created a matching envelope for the previous card. I again used the Floral Fantasy stamp set and the same ink pads to create my background. A tiny leaf on the back of the envelope was stamped with Sand Dunes ink and cut out using Fantasy Floral Die set.

That’s it for me, your next stop on the hop is Kimberly Crawford and I can't wait to see what she came up with today!

Absolutely gorgeous cards!! Your first card is so elegant and chic and your second is just crazy pretty - and I love how you made an entire sheet so you could make the envelope liner. Thanks so much for sharing these!

What gorgeous cards and envelope!! Love what you did with the doodled lace cover die!! Your colour choice is just perfect on the kraft card and it's sponged and blended so beautifully!! Your second card is stunning!! Lovely colours and love the CAS look behind the frame die cut. Just wow!!
